I won't be able to do the November pollinator study thing. I went out briefly yesterday but started feeling unwell walking and had to come back inside.

But there were so many white cabbage moths! I saw one legit butterfly, it was too fast to id, but the rest are these pale fluttering menaces. Maybe that's why there were sus bumps on my spinach leaves.

Edit: Ok, wet weather?
